Working with her dressing frames. She has several of them at home, but I let her pick two of her favorite ones. They are very flat and easy to pack.

      Preschooler Pack:  

Large weekly pill container filled with small snacks. This will occupy time as well as satisfy a grumbling belly. I filled ours with: raisins, cranberries, mini chocolate chips, fruit snacks, cheerios, banana chips and sesame covered cashews. These snacks are on the sugarier side of things, but we always have a bit more fun on vacation!

         Two dressing frames, one with buttons and one with snaps.

         Two “water wows” on the go coloring notepads and One coloring book and a bag of crayons and markers.

         One party pack from the dollar section of Target, which included an activity book, stickers and pack of markers. A pack of scratch arts, Brain quest cards and two small dolls.

        A felt doll house with felt people and clothes and magnet play set.

         A large sticker activity book and a wipe-clean workbook

Toddler Pack:

         Several small board books that had touch and feel components as well as real-life pictures. “Lift the flap” books are also great for this age.

        two small wooden movable toys, magnetic blocks, a small car, a mini flashlight, a light-up wand, painters tape (this is great for sticking all over the seat, tray table and window to let them pick off), a slinky, and a spice bottle with sticks for places into the holes.

Snacks:

       The large pill bottle filled with smaller snacks, mentioned above

        Two fruit/veggie pouches and one meal pouch.

        Peanuts and fruit bar (If you bring a snack containing nuts, you run the risk of not being able to open it if there is someone on the airplane with a nut

allergy).

        Two RX bars (for my husband and I)

        A “trail-mix” bag containing small crackers, cheerios, pretzels etc.
